creaking and other stuff going on....

Yeah, that looks a little bit worn! You can go to a machine shop for the press work; I would personally try to be there during the operation.....to make sure they install the new ones just with spit as a lube...no greases or oils. Read up here on all the tehcniques for LCA bushing R&R so you wil be forearmed to make sure they do it properly.

Will do - thanks for the advice! :D
